Duty free shopping can be one of the fun perks of travelling, but it’s not just traveller tax discounts that allow you to save. Luxury brand pricing around the world differs, and what you pay overseas compared to your home country depends on the relative prices set by the brands, the exchange rate between your home currency and the overseas currency, and any traveller tax refunds that may be available.  Luxury Hedge is the country-to-country price comparison website and app for luxury brands, helping you find the cheapest place to buy designer items around the world.

What is Luxury Hedge?

Luxury Hedge gathers product prices from luxury brands worldwide and combines them with daily exchange rates and traveller tax refunds to give you a clear picture of where an item is cheapest. The platform does all the hard work for you by converting prices into your home currency so you can see price differences at a glance.

With a Luxury Hedge Membership, you can access price data for thousands of individual products, already converted to your currency, showing the percentage price difference between countries. You can also create a wishlist of your favourite items for quick reference while travelling.

How It Works in Practice

Imagine you’re planning an overseas trip. Before you travel, you check Luxury Hedge to see if any of your favourite luxury brands are cheaper at your destination. For example, if you’re flying from Australia to Italy, you can compare the price of a Gucci bag in Australia, Italy, or even at your layover destination in Dubai.

Once you’re at the airport, you might spot a pair of Gucci slides which you can purchase duty-free. Are they cheaper to buy before you leave or when you arrive at your destination? With Luxury Hedge, you can quickly check the price of the same product in each country, converted into your home currency, including any traveller tax refunds.

Even during a layover stop in Dubai, you can use Luxury Hedge to compare the price of those same Gucci slides in Dubai, your destination, and your home country – all in one place.

Or maybe you prefer to wait till you’re at your destination. If you’ve ever shopped overseas and have been standing around in Chanel, Hermes or Gucci, trying to work out exchange rates and prices, you’ll appreciate having all the data at your fingertips.
